Margot turned back to look at Curtis with every few steps she took. Pain gripped her chest as she saw Curtis on his knees, tears welling up in his eyes, and blood flowing from the wound on his leg.

Four years had passed, yet seeing him wounded still shattered her heart. She wanted to help him, hold him in her arms, and let him know Lilac was his daughter.

But she would never forget what he had done four years ago.

She would never forget he had tricked her to the island and forced himself on her the day they met after four years.

He loved her deeply but still hurt her feelings each time they crossed paths.

She did not want to forgive him.

Retracting her gaze, Margot made up her mind and boarded the ship with Anthony.

Curtis' leg had been poisoned, and the pain was unbearable.

He wanted to get up to stop Margot, but he could not.

Lying on the ground, he watched helplessly as Anthony took Margot with him.

Curtis cried at the top of his lungs, "Margot, come back! Don't leave! Ma

    Anthony stared into Margot's eyes with his deep-set gaze and said, "I'm sure you know my feelings for you after being together for four years. Do you know how worried I was when you disappeared over the past few days?"From the hickeys on her neck, Anthony could tell what she and Curtis had been doing on the island these few days.He was jealous but had no right to say anything about it.He could only swallow his grief and bear with it.Guilt flickered in Margot's eyes, and she quickly looked away.Standing up, she faced the sea and tried to calm herself down before saying, "I'm sorry. I know your feelings for me, but I—""But you can't forget him, right?"Anthony snapped and stood beside her, looking at her sorrowfully, "I have no idea why you can't forget a man who cheated on you in your marriage."Anthony knew that as long as Lilac was around, Margot would never forget Curtis.Anthony didn't mind the fact that she couldn't forget Curtis. He could tolerate her having feeling

    Natalie sat up and switched on the lights in the room. As she observed the emotional scene between the mother and daughter, a twinge of discomfort crept over her. Approaching with tissues in hand, she offered solace to the tearful pair."Are you alright, Margot? Did Curtis hurt you?"When Margot heard what Natalie said, the former finally let go of Lilac and raised her head to meet Natalie's gaze.Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she felt too distraught to speak.Natalie glanced at the marks on her neck and could guess what Margot had to endure during the days of her disappearance. Tenderly reaching out, she enveloped Margot in a comforting embrace, assuring her, "It's alright now. Everything will be okay now that you're back.""Natalie, I simply don't get it. He's the one who cheated on me while we were married. He got someone else pregnant and even provided that woman financial support to have that illegitimate child. We're already divorced, so why can't he just let go of

    Natalie continued, "Don't stress about it any longer. It's getting late. You should rest. I'll fetch Lilac. Lilac was constantly crying for you when you were gone.""Thanks, Natalie."Expressing gratitude, Margot rose to head for a shower.By the time Natalie brought Lilac back, Margot had completed her shower and changed into her sleep attire. Eventually, all three of them settled on the same bed.Anthony came back early the next day after having taken care of everything.Upon his return, Margot was still asleep, holding Lilac. Meanwhile, Natalie was in the kitchen preparing breakfast with the chef.Spotting Natalie arranging cutlery in the dining room, Anthony asked her, "Where's Margot?"Natalie looked up and met Anthony's gaze. "She might have been too tired last night, so she's still sleeping. Just let her get some more sleep."Anthony agreed and took a seat in the dining room.After that, he gestured to Natalie and said, "You're a guest here, so you shouldn't trouble you

    Learning about the need to go to the Morris residence left Margot astonished. Feeling somewhat guilty, she lowered her head to hide her reluctance. "I think I should go to the hospital then."Anthony hummed in acknowledgment. Despite feeling somewhat disappointed, he kept his emotions to himself. After lunch, he took her to the hospital.After the doctor assured Margot that there were no major issues, they prescribed some topical medications and advised her to get some rest.As they left the hospital and settled into Anthony's car, he looked at her and asked, "Is everything alright?"Margot nodded and said, "I've already said that I'm fine, but you still insisted on me getting a check-up.""Well, that's good to hear. Are you prepared to go back to my place and meet my parents?"Anthony started the car and drove away.Margot turned to him and asked, "Didn't you say that if I came to the hospital, I wouldn't have to go to your house?""What I meant was, should we go to the hospit

    Natalie had to go back to work, so she returned to Cordonia two days after Margot got home.Anthony had already prepped everything by then. That afternoon, he personally took Margot and Lilac back to the Morris residence.That was only Margot's second visit to the palace. Still, she sensed something familiar about that luxurious palace.However, she couldn't recall when she had come here except for that time four years ago. Anthony was holding Lilac when they entered the palace. She was so excited that she clapped and exclaimed, "Wow! What a big and beautiful house! Is this your house, Daddy? Can I be the princess of this palace in the future?"Anthony chuckled and stroked Lilac's chubby cheeks lovingly."Of course. You can be the princess of this palace forever if that is what you wish.""Okay! I want to be the princess."Lilac was ecstatic. She sat in the crook of Anthony's arms while scanning the palace endlessly. Her big, round eyes shone with nothing but glee and curiosit

    Margot was perplexed by Frederick's words. Just as she was about to speak, Anthony beat her to it. "Dad, I—""Did I allow you to speak?"Frederick's face was stern as he glared. His frightening gaze got Anthony to clamp his mouth shut.When he turned his attention back to Margot, he explained, "I'll make this simpler for you. You can stay for a while. We'll evaluate your performance."In other words, they would kick her out if she performed poorly.How could Margot have known that no matter how she performed, there was no way the family would accept her?All they wanted was Lilac. The purpose behind her temporary stay was to make it easier for Lilac to assimilate into the family. That way, Lilac would no longer need her in the future.Margot wanted to protest, but Anthony whispered in her ear before she could do so. "Take the deal, Margot. Don't worry. I'll handle the rest."Hearing that, Margot kept her thoughts to herself and replied, "Okay."Everyone else was still sizing M

    That evening, Natalie sensed something amiss. Deep down, she knew Margot still harbored feelings for Curtis. There might have been a misunderstanding between them.Curtis gazed at Natalie, knowing that she was his only hope. She could help him in clarifying things with Margot.Had Margot been privy to the truth, perhaps she wouldn't have been so callous toward him.As he lay there, he murmured weakly, "She thought I was cheating on her and had a child with another woman."Natalie's expression changed upon hearing that, prompting her to ask, "Are you saying that she misunderstood you?"Curtis hummed in acknowledgment. "What on earth is going on here?"As the anesthesia wore off, pain radiated through his body.Despite his discomfort, Curtis persisted in explaining to Natalie. "Doris' daughter set me up. She took advantage of my drunken state and climbed into my bed."She accused me of sleeping with her and later claimed that she was pregnant with my child. However, it turned o

    Curtis found himself grappling with the same question—did it truly bother him that Margot had a child with another man?Curtis acknowledged that indeed, the fact that Margot had a child with someone else did bother him.Yet, dwelling on it seemed futile. What mattered most was winning her back, regardless of past circumstances."You should take some time to think about it. If you truly can't imagine life without her, wait until your leg has healed and then have a proper conversation with her. Remember to use conventional methods to win her over."If the fact that she has a child with someone else bothers you, then perhaps it's best not to interfere further in her life. Margot is a living human being, not your possession."When Natalie thought about how she had finally made a trip back to Amberville, she decided to go home and visit her parents.She had said everything she needed to say. It was up to Curtis to determine his course of action.Before Natalie walked away, she added,

    She ignored him, and Tommy didn't take the initiative to talk to her either to avoid making her overthink.After sitting in the living room for a while, he waited for all the members of the Crosby family to come downstairs. Once they did, he followed them to the dining room for a meal.As soon as Tommy arrived, Laura put down her fork, got up, and without looking back, said, "Enjoy your meal, I'm heading to the university.""Heading out so early?" Ashley asked.However, she didn't respond and slipped out the door directly.Elias said, "There's an exam coming up, so she's been very focused. She goes in early every day."Curtis and the others didn't seem to mind and invited Tommy to sit down.Only Margot knew why Laura walked so quickly.It was because Tommy was here.Laura had a crush on this big celebrity, and since she couldn't be with him, it was naturally difficult for her to interact with him further.So it was completely understandable that she avoided him whenever she s

    "How do you think my sister is doing over there? Is Calvin treating her and her son well?"Tommy believed that Curtis, no matter what, grew up together with his sister.He would definitely tell the truth.Unlike his little nephew, who often sided with outsiders and only highlighted their good qualities.Curtis laughed. "If someone were to say that your sister is the happiest woman in the world right now, it wouldn't be an exaggeration at all.During the month of postpartum confinement, Calvin stayed by her side constantly. Even though they were in a maternity center, he personally took care of both children. Your sister married him, you can be completely assured about it. She will only be happier, and he's taking great care of Benjamin too."Calvin was known for his impeccable character and conduct.Tommy felt relieved after hearing that.As long as his sister wasn't being mistreated over there, it was all good.He thought he still needed to take his parents to visit his siste

    Laura felt that she just couldn't stand being alone with Tommy.It felt as though the air was so thin that she couldn't breathe properly.She didn't even want to respond to the last remark. She got up without looking at him and walked straight toward the stairs.Tommy watched her walk away and sighed helplessly.It was good that she was aware of keeping a certain distance from him.At this moment, Jordan came over holding water and handed it to Tommy with both hands."Here's some water for you.""Alright, thank you."Tommy took the mug, pulled the child to sit next to him, and asked, “What’s your name?”"Jordan Crosby."Previously, his master gave him the name Jordan Mahome.After coming back with Margot and Curtis, they gave him the family surname.So now he was called Jordan Crosby.He really liked this name, too."Jordan Crosby, that's a nice-sounding name. So how old are you?" Tommy asked with a smile.Jordan laughed along and asked, "I'm eight years old. How about y

    Ashley sighed."Natalie has always been someone who only shares the good news and keeps the bad to herself. She's always been a child you can't help but feel for. Thankfully, she married such a great person like your eldest brother, which means she can live a happy life."Both Elias and Ashley were well aware of Calvin's character.Back when Curtis had an accident and lost his memory, it was Calvin who stepped in and took care of everything for their family.A man who was both capable and responsible, and held a high position of power, marrying Natalie, who had been married before, indicated that he truly loved Natalie.Fortunately, Natalie lived up to expectations and gave birth to a set of fraternal twins for Calvin."She is genuinely happy right now," said Margot with a smile.She just didn't know how long her father planned to keep doing this.He really shouldn't bring that woman home; it would disgust Calvin and Natalie."Then I'll call the Nelsons in a bit to ask when th

    When Margot and they returned to Amberville, it was already evening.Anthony didn't go with Lena and Margot to the Crosby Residence; instead, he went to Alice Manor.There was no one there, and Edna's mother had also been taken to Emeria to settle down.It was just the perfect romantic time for the two of them.When Margot and Curtis walked through the front door holding their son, they happened to catch their parents having dinner with the two kids.Jordan was the first to see them coming back, and he jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Dad, Mom, you're back!"He was so happy that he quickly got up from his chair and ran toward them.Margot opened her arms to embrace the child running toward her, with an apologetic look on her face."I'm sorry, Jordan. Ever since I brought you back, I haven't had any time to spend with you. You don't blame me, do you?"She'd been gone for about a month.It’d been such a long time, and she imagined that not being able to see her must have made

    It felt like he could suffocate to death at any moment.Yasmine didn't care about his situation; she just angrily asked:"Are you really just letting them leave like that? They're not taking you back to live in that mansion-like palace?"Her younger brother told her that this was not the Morris family home. The place where the Morris family lived was as luxurious as a palace they would see on TV, as if it was built with piles of money.She also wanted to broaden her horizons.Frederick struggled for quite a while before he could breathe easily again.Looking at the woman beside his leg, he lowered his head and said helplessly, "I'm in such a state that I can't do anything, and if they don't listen to me, what can I do? There's no need to go back, I'll just stay here with you from now on."He would be upset if he went back anyway, so it might be better for him to stay here with Yasmine and gradually nurse himself back to health while waiting for Anthony's prosthetic to be complet

    After hearing what Daniel said, Calvin didn't pause for a moment and quickly drove back.He didn't go home to get the military seal; instead, he went empty-handed to where Yasmine lived.Just as he reached the front entrance, he heard the sound of a woman crying coming from inside the house.Daniel, who was standing at the door, saw Calvin approaching and went up to greet him:"That woman is so malicious. Not only did she slander us in front of Dad by claiming we aborted her child, but she also said we mistreated her. Just listen to her cries, they're loud enough to pierce the sky."Calvin didn't pay much attention and walked past Daniel into the house.In the living room, Yasmine was lying next to Frederick's legs, crying uncontrollably, looking truly pitiful.Frederick couldn't stand seeing his woman like this. He raised his hand, gently placed it on her head, and said sternly:"Yasmine, don't cry. I will seek justice for you and the child."As he looked up, he saw Caklvin a

    She was worried that the situation with Frederick might get worse.She looked at Curtis and said, "Why don't you take our son back with the others, and I'll stay for a few more days?"Curtis said, "Staying here won't make any difference."After all, Frederick just wouldn't listen to her at all.He didn't even care whether his daughter stayed or left.Curtis believed that if Calvin could handle it, he should be the one to do so.Curtis and Margot absolutely needed to go back.After picking up Jordan and bringing him home, the two of them left. The child hadn't seen them in a long time, so he might think about them a lot.Natalie didn't want Margot to worry about Frederick's matter and advised, "Margot, you should go back with Curtis. Didn't you two adopt a little boy? Go check on him and make sure he doesn't have any worries.""I'll take care of the remaining matters, and if anything comes up, I'll call to let you know," Calvin also said.It was not that they didn't want their

    When Frederick spoke, everyone looked serious and kept silent.Yasmine's child was no longer around, how were they going to be nice to her?Calvin thought for a moment and decided it was necessary to tell his father the truth.He said, "Dad, I'm sorry, but we can't do what you want."Frederick looked at him, his expression growing serious once more."I've stopped caring about Lena's issues, can't you make a concession for my sake?"If these sons insist on opposing him, then they shouldn't blame him for being ruthless.Frederick never let others dictate his actions.When would anyone dare to underestimate him?If it weren't for his efforts back in the day, his sons wouldn't have the power and status they had now.Calvin reluctantly said, "It's not that we're unwilling to compromise, but Yasmine's child is already gone."Losing the child was something they never expected.Frederick now wanted to use the child to exchange for Lena's freedom; there were no way they would grant
